I accidently sent a message containing wrong information about C type
qualifiers to this list (I meant to send it to the individual; even so
I probably should have kept my mouth shut about something I didn't
understand, but it's too late for that), so at the risk of compounding
the problem of overflowing mailboxes I think I better set the record
straight.

"volatile char *p" means "pointer to volatile character" (since "volatile
char" is a volatile character, "volatile char *" is a pointer to
that).  "char volatile *p" means the same thing.  "char * volatile p"
means "volatile pointer to character".
